Call Mr. Fortune

Reginald Fortune is a comfortably middle‑aged doctor who has always done “just enough” to keep the lights on. When his stern, opinionated father steps away, Reginald inherits a respectable London practice and a modest fortune, all while maintaining his easy‑going habits of music, golf, and endless curiosity about anything he can skim. His cheerful, unruffled demeanor makes him a favorite among patients and colleagues alike, though his lack of ambition sometimes raises eyebrows.

The calm of his routine is shaken when news arrives that the Archduke of Bohemia has been knocked down in a motor‑car accident on the outskirts of Westhampton. Tasked with treating the dignitary, Reginald finds himself thrust into a world of aristocratic intrigue, hurried telegrams, and a cast of colorful figures eager for his help. The case promises a blend of medical puzzles and social comedy, setting the stage for a series of lively investigations that will test Reginald’s skill and his peculiar brand of modest zeal.
